**Counter-Strike 2 has maintained a clear lead in tactical shooter esports viewership throughout 2026.** The IEM Cologne Major set new all-time CS records with a 2.75 million peak concurrent viewers and over 100 million hours watched, far outpacing VALORANT’s top events such as Masters London (around 1.5 million peak) and earlier Masters or Champions tournaments that topped out near 1.47 million. Early-year S-tier data showed CS2 events generating roughly 205 million hours watched and 1.38 million peaks versus VALORANT’s 130 million hours and lower averages, despite VALORANT’s longer total airtime in some windows. CS2 benefits from a deeper historical Major circuit, stronger European and CIS audiences, and consistent format-driven growth, while VALORANT’s international events trail even when co-streaming and regional platforms are considered. This sustained gap underpins the 96.9% trader consensus against VALORANT surpassing CS2 at any 2026 Major. A late surge in Chinese platform numbers for VALORANT Champions Shanghai or an unexpected dip in CS2 interest could narrow the margin, though current trends indicate limited upside for such a reversal.

"Qualifying CS2 Major" means either of the two 2026 Valve-sponsored Majors: IEM Cologne Major 2026 or PGL Major Singapore 2026.
"Peak Viewership" means the peak concurrent viewer count for the event's main broadcast as reported by Esports Charts (https://escharts.com), excluding Chinese platform viewership, consistent with Esports Charts' standard methodology.
This market resolves "Yes" if at least one qualifying VALORANT event's peak viewership figure is greater than the larger of the two CS2 Majors' peak viewership figures. The comparison uses each event's single highest peak-viewer figure across the full event.
If a qualifying event is cancelled or not held, it is simply excluded from the comparison. If no qualifying CS2 Major or no qualifying VALORANT event takes place in 2026, or if Esports Charts does not publish peak viewership figures for the relevant events by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No."
The resolution source for this market will be Esports Charts (https://escharts.com). A consensus of credible reporting may also be used where Esports Charts figures are unavailable or disputed.
